About

I write words on the internet, I study at RMIT and I follow Melbourne FC. Once had a dream I missed a matchwinner in an AFL Grand Final....twice. I sometimes tweet tweets @dylcarmody77, so give me a follow and enjoy!

It’s do or die for the English, as they take on Australia at North Sydney Oval in the first Women’s T20I of the summer this Friday. One Australian win will see the hosts retain the Ashes on home soil, so England cannot afford to lose.

As we enter the fourth and final day of the historic day-night women’s Test match between Australia and England, we will soon see whether Australia will retain the Ashes by day’s end. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 2:30pm (AEDT) at North Sydney Oval.

It’s the final ODI of the Women’s Ashes as Australia attempt to make it three on the trot against a down, but dangerous England team. Join The Roar for live scores and blogs from the third ODI at Coff’s Harbour this Sunday from 10:15am (AEDT).

END OF MATCH:
Australia 442/8 (d) and 138 defeat England 227 and 233 by 120 runs
Great win by Australia. There were question marks over whether England could take this game all the way to the end, but two early wickets to Hazlewood, including the massive wicket of Joe Root, saw Australia drive the boot into the throats of the English and not let them up.
The Australians battled hard all Test, and had the ascendency early, with Shaun Marsh notching a sublime 126 not out, supported ably by Tim Paine and Pat Cummins. They then tore the hearts out of England, leading by a massive 215 runs, led by Nathan Lyon with 4/60.
The decision to not enforce the follow on was strange, the Aussies giving England a sniff as they were bowled out for 138, James Anderson picking up the first 5 wicket haul in Australia of his career.
England, needing a whopping 354 runs to win, went into today 4/176 with a glimmer of hope, but as soon as Root nicked off, it was all but over.
Australia now head into Adelaide with a 2-0 series lead, and will have the Ashes clearly in their sights by the time the Perth Test rolls around.
Shaun Marsh wins the Player of the Match for his match-winning hundred.
